Your letter to the bugman: We saw this winged insect on our bus today, we would love to know what it is! Have not seen before in our neighborhood. The insect was about 1” -1.25” in length. And it is hanging out on the bus still, going to Canarsie!
How you want your letter signed: B13 bus rider
Hanging Thief
Dear B13 bus rider,
This is a Hanging Thief, a predatory Robber Fly in the genus Diogmites. They are called Hanging Thieves because they often hang from one leg while feeding on prey.
